Sounds as if that is a Windows program, not a Cygwin or Linux program.

If your gcc is a Windows gcc then it wants a Windows path.

This goes along with my theory.

You can fix the Makefile to pass Windows paths. The cygpath tool and make's
$(shell ...) command might be useful.
But I also wonder if maybe the mingw environment is more suited to this work,
or finding a Windows version of make.
Yea, that's what I figured.
I thought I would try it and see how it worked out -- and it was so close...
that I figured it'd be worth asking if anyone had worked with doing something
similar.
